Morrisons<\/a> cut 3,600 jobs after closing 17 stores last year, it’s been revealed. <\/p>\n

In April, the closure of more than a dozen Morrisons shops<\/a> also saw the end of dozens of cafes and other services.<\/p>\n

Along with hundreds of jobs, the supermarket shut two caf\u00e9s and 100 other in-store services like 12 florists, four pharmacies and dozens and meat and fish counters.<\/p>\n

Rami Baiti\u00e9h, Chief Executive of Morrisons, previously said: <\/strong>\u2018The changes\u2026 are a necessary part of our plans to renew and reinvigorate Morrisons and enable us to focus our investment into the areas that customers really value and that can play a full part in our growth. <\/p>\n

\u2018Morrisons Caf\u00e9s are rightly famous for their great quality well-priced food, their place in the local community and their appealing mix of traditional favourites alongside exciting new dishes.<\/p>\n

\u2018In most locations, the Morrisons Caf\u00e9 has a bright future, but a minority have specific local challenges and in those locations, regrettably, closure and re-allocation of the space is the only sensible option. <\/p>\n

\u2018Market Street is a beacon of differentiation for Morrisons and we remain committed to it.’<\/p>\n

It comes after a year of major losses in 2023, in which the shop slashed 8,800 roles due to increasing costs.<\/p>\n

British high streets<\/a> are facing even more shop closures<\/a> this year, with dozens of shops set to shut in August<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the latest in a wave of\u00a0store closures<\/a>\u00a0that saw 13,000 shops vanish from high streets last year. It\u2019s even claimed\u00a0WHSmith<\/a>\u00a0as a victim.<\/p>\n

Up to 17,000 shops are expected to close this year alone, according to the Centre for Retail Research<\/a>.<\/p>\n
